Is it possible to develop a computer that could match the versatility of the human brain?

Question

Technology has made some human activities almost routine. Yet, can it ever replace the human being? Can artificial intelligence ever emulate the sheer adaptability of the human mind?
Take notice that the question is under Philosophy.

Answer 1

ok....to replicates the human brain, we first have to understand the working of the human brain....think about that...just consider the way you manage to remember a distant memory when you just smell or see something even for an instant! how does your brain manage to recollect that memory so soon?
just consider the amount of information that we have in our brains since the time we've cought hold of our senses...to pull up a record out of that humngous memory resource would take how much time????consider it from a human point of view...and yet it just flashes! then things about telepathy and other mysteroius stuff like that would take maybe another milenia!!!

Answer 2

SCIENCE has progressed so much that anything can happen.BUT if science will make computer having versatility of human brain DOESN'T THAT MEAN LIKE CREATING A HUMAN BRAIN IN A LABORATORY.that means when man will succeed in makink a man in laboratory then only your question is possible.JUST THINK ABOUT THAT...

Answer 3

Yes. Through massively parallel processing. IBM is working on it. You can't do it with a single processor, no matter how fast it gets. You need thousands of them, and the connections between them.

The real question is can you create on that is conscious of its own existence. That one is still very open to debate.

Answer 4

it is possible if the computer is organic and made of human brains. then again, that will be a human brain so i do not think you can do that.

Answer 5

probably, but the memory and power drain would be very high
